Ibrahim was requested to leave one of his men who understood the management of a still, to establish and undertake the direction of "King Kamrasi's Central African Unyoro Potato-Whisky Company, unlimited." Ibrahim had brought a variety of presents for Kamrasi: fifty pounds of beads, a revolver pistol, cotton cloths, blue glass tumblers, looking-glasses, &c.

From that time there has been continual war between Uganda and Unyoro; or, as Kamrasi calls his kingdom, Kitwara, that being the ancient name: to the present day, M'tese, the king of Uganda, is one of his greatest enemies.
Their description of the east shore of the M'wootan N'zige was as follows: Geographical Information: "South of Unyoro is a country Kabboya; " " Kabboyu " " Tambooki; " " Tambooki " " M'Pororo; " " M'Pororo " " Ruanda; " " Ruanda " " Baroondi; " " Baroondi " " Chibbogora; " " Chibbogora " " Watuta; " " Watuta " " Manchoonda;"

The Princess of Wales was a three-quarter face; and they immediately asked "why she had only one ear?"
I replied, that "hens did not lay all their eggs in one day, but continued one by one; and that I hoped, when I should know him better, he would discover the advantage of commerce, as the various goods that had now been introduced were intended to exhibit the manufactures of my own country. These would continue to arrive in Unyoro to be exchanged for ivory."
